Aim: The aim of this study was to use Ascophyllum nodosum for potentially increasing the growth and rhizobial diversity in nodulating rhizobia in Vigna aconitifolia. Methodology: Different concentrations of Ascophyllum nodosum extracts (0.01%, 0.02%, 0.05%, 0.10% and 0.50%) were applied via foliar spray and on roots of Vigna aconitifolia. Growth characteristics and Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis were conducted to detect the morphological and molecular changes in rhizobial diversity. The restriction profiles thus obtained were used to study the rhizobial communities via Cluster analysis and Dendrogram using NTSYS-PC program and UPGMA constructed. Results: Roots treated with 0.05% Ascophyllum nodosum extract showed best growth of plants. This concentration not only proved best for the aggregation of nodules but also for obtaining enormous rhizobial diversity. Interpretation: Ascophyllum nodosum is a modern, cheap, non-toxic natural biofertilizer and Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis represents a favorable alternative to culture dependent method for assessing rhizobial diversity in nodulating bacteria.

ABSTRACT We obtained nine bacterial isolates from root or collar nodules of the non-stem-nodulated Aeschynomene species A. elaphroxylon, A. uniflora, or A. schimperi and 69 root or stem nodule isolates from the stem-nodulated Aeschynomene species A. afraspera, A. ciliata, A. indica,A. nilotica, A. sensitiva, and A. tambacoundensis from various places in Senegal. These isolates, together with 45 previous isolates from variousAeschynomene species, were studied for host-specific nodulation within the genus Aeschynomene, also revisiting cross-inoculation groups described previously by D. Alazard (Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 50:732–734, 1985). The whole collection ofAeschynomene nodule isolates was screened for synthesis of photosynthetic pigments by spectrometry, high-pressure liquid chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography analyses. The presence ofpuf genes in photosyntheticAeschynomene isolates was evidenced both by Southern hybridization with a Rhodobacter capsulatus photosynthetic gene probe and by DNA amplification with primers defined from photosynthetic genes. In addition, amplified 16S ribosomal DNA restriction analysis was performed on 45 Aeschynomeneisolates, including strain BTAi1, and 19 reference strains fromBradyrhizobium japonicum, Bradyrhizobium elkanii, and other Bradyrhizobium sp. strains of uncertain taxonomic positions. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the photosynthetic strain ORS278 (LMG 12187) was determined and compared to sequences from databases. Our main conclusion is that photosynthetic Aeschynomene nodule isolates share the ability to nodulate particular stem-nodulated species and form a separate subbranch on the Bradyrhizobium rRNA lineage, distinct from B. japonicum and B. elkanii.

ABSTRACTIn this study, we describe the molecular characterization of a plasmid-locatedblaNDM-1harbored by anAcinetobacterclinical isolate recovered from a patient in Turkey that putatively constitutes a novelAcinetobacterspecies, as shown by its distinct ARDRA (amplified 16S ribosomal DNA restriction analysis) profile and molecular sequencing techniques.blaNDM-1was carried by a conjugative plasmid widespread among non-baumannii Acinetobacterisolates, suggesting its potential for dissemination before reaching more clinically relevantAcinetobacterspecies.
